ST. PAUL, October 1.-THE Presi
dental party drove around the city
this morning, and everywhere was
greeted by a great number who
thronged the streets and cheered
loudly. After the drive Mrs. Cleve.
land went up to the residence of Mayor
Smith, and the President was taken
to the rooms of the Minnesota Club
where he was presented to the mem
bers and lunch was served. The
party left for Minneapolis at II &c
p. NJ.
MINNEAPOLIS REACHED.
MINNEAPOLIS, October II. - The
President and party arrived here at l
p. NJ. from St. Paul and were immedi-
ately escorted to the hotel. The streets
were thronged with people and the
party was accorded such magnificent
ovation that the chill breezes were
powerless to affect them.
THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS.
When the party arrived at the West
Hotel lunch was served in private, af-
ter which the party were driven about
the city in carriages until about 4
O'Clock, when the President was con-
Quoted to the balcony of the hotel,
whence he addressed the multitude.
He highly eulogized the State of Min
nesota, and particularly the twin
cities" St. Paul and Minneapolis.
"While the people of the rival places
are twisting figures about to determine
which is the greatest" said he, "the
rest of the United States are pointing
to you both as the best exemplification
of what american pluck and energy
can accomplish" After the speech
the party proceeded to the Exposition
in carriages and escorted by military
bands. They went directly to the
stand. Mayor Ames briefly introduced
the visitor to the throng in waiting
and the President spoke again. w
ANOTHER ADDRESS.
He believed that the suggestion
sometimes made that there should be
more sentiment and less that is prac-
teal in our national life is insincere
and delusive. '"The crowning glories
of the Government are cities such as
yours, an increased trade and COM
merce, multiplied, happy and con-
tented people, an increased production
and a financial growth. Does senti-
ment, aand especially the sentiment
that mopes over past and refuses to
look to the future, create those things
The sentiment that will insure our
continued prosperity will be found in
friendly competition" .-,. .
OFF TO OMAHA. ...,. p
At the close of the speech the party
returned to the hotel, where an elab-
crate supper was served at s O'Clock.
Escorted by the militaryas before, the
guests proceeded to the depot and took

ST.. LOUIS, October 11.-Although it

1900 to $1,000 people saw the
Detroits play good game and the
Browns a bad one in the worlds
championship series. The hom e

Latham and Boyle gave Detroit their
first four runs. The work of the
Browns was almost lifeless as COM
pared with that of yesterday, their
fielding except that of O'Neill and
Caruthers being wretched and their
base running sleepy. Both pitchers
were hit freely. Hanlon for the visit

SCENES AT THE WRECK.
When the reporters reached the
wreck all the dead bodies had been
carefully removed from sight. Only
two Of the wounded were still in the
village and the local employees of the
road were deaf and dumb to all seek
ers after information. About the only
person about who was willing to tell
the details of the horror was DIR. G..
w. Mckee. He stated that to his best
knowledge the collision had cost the
lives Of fully thirty people. 1t was q
mammoth scene of destruction and
there was diffiulty of arriving at q
correct idea of its magnitude. Out of
the Miller family of six only q boy
was saved. DR.. Mckee stated that
only nine bodies had been recovered,
and they were SO badly charred as to
almost beyond recognition, the most
left of some OF them being blackened
trunk, and in some cases there was
little beyond handful of ashes.
THE CASUALTY LIST ea
Is as follows: The Miller family
of Dundee, father, mother, two. broth
ers and and girl (their' 14-year-old
boy, Herman, will probably die also).
DR.. Perry of North Judson, Indiana,
DR.. Perry's wife and daughter, and .

AN OFFICIALS VIEWS.
Superintendent Parsons, of the Chi
csgo and Atlantic admits that no
hagman had been sent back from the
train when the stop was
made. Parsons said that the train
men were depending upon the sema-.
phore light. 1000 feet in the rear of
Of where the stop was made, and the
of the train had pulled the
cord for his light when h. stepped
from his train. This would throw o
glare of red danger signal on the
track. The night, however, was foggy
and the engineer of the fast freight
must have failed to see the signal.
THE PRINCIPAL TROUBLE.
!. Superintendent Parsons thought that
the accident would have been very
ordinary one had not the stove in the
sleeper upset, that caused the destruc-
ton Of the sleeper, two coaches and
baggage car, and that in the main was
the cause of the loss of life.
The passengers who were unhurt, to
the number of twenty-five, had been
to their destination without
delay.
THE CORONER AT WORK.
1t appears that Coroner Leatherman
did not enpanel a jury, that proceed
ure being UNNECESSARY under the laws
OF Indiana. As the engineer OF the
freight had been taken with the other
survivors to Huntington, the Coroner
decided to go there, which he did, in
company with the railroads lawyer
and several other gentlemen, to deter
mine the responsibility of the wreck.

condition OF the building, owing to the
fact that there is so much heavy mate
rial and constant danger from fire.
The property is insured for 500, 900.
THE NEW BUILDING.
This afternoon Attorney Genera
johnson rendered a decision in tn
matter of fire-proof building for stor
ing State text books and stereotyped
plates, as provided by the last Legis-
lature, which appropriated $40, 900 for
erecting the structure. Controller
Mann was of opinion that the appro-
priation had reverted to the State be-
cause of not being used in time. Gov
ernor Waterman differed, and the At
torney Generals decision sustains the
Government. The building is to be
erected Immediately.

SANTA Rosa, October 11.-This
